Genuinely well organised. The trip leader had a plan for everything and still left us enough free time. Hampi Ruins & Gokarna Beaches was even better than the photos.

Third trip with Backpackers India and the standard has not dropped. Stays were clean, food was good and the group was fun. Hampi Ruins & Gokarna Beaches is a must do.

Travelled solo and never felt out of place. Only note is that one drive was longer than expected, but Hampi Ruins & Gokarna Beaches made up for it completely.
